Author Topic: Notification of replies (Read 5088 times)

In my profile I have ticked the NO box for always notify me of replies but I keep getting notifications.

Is this just a glitch.??

i doubt it is a glitch. everything should be fine as this is not, i believe a known issue. Any chance you get replies to the forums you have posted in before and recently changed it?

Also check that the box below the message body is not selected... tell me if both are fine...

Lona · « **Reply #2 on:** July 03, 2006, 00:21 »

both boxes are ticked NO, Sam.

This was going on before the upgrade and I thought it would sort itself out.

I thought maybe I had them ticked as YES by mistake but they weren't.

ummm, you should have said beforehand.. id have checked for this aswell. Ok I'll take a look tomorrow.

Surely this must be a personal setting somewhere, or we would all be getting them? :|

sam · « **Reply #5 on:** July 03, 2006, 09:24 »

yes, thats what i thought.

sam · « **Reply #6 on:** July 03, 2006, 12:51 »

lona.. I can't spot anything obviously wrong with the forum code, it could be something daft there are over 10000 lines of code...

I have created a test thread for you... http://www.pc-pals.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=131003#131003

could you reply to my message... then i will reply to you and lets see what happens.

What happens when you click the link to stop the notifications, Lona? I have to say, this is really weird! If the notifications were somehow activated in your profile, you should be receiving them for all threads you have posted in.

Lona · « **Reply #9 on:** July 03, 2006, 23:16 »

I notice at the bottom of each topic it says watch this topic or stop watching this topic.

The only thing I can think of is I've inadvertantly click on watch this topic.

Simon · « **Reply #10 on:** July 03, 2006, 23:21 »

On several threads? :ooo: If that's the case, you'll have to cut down on the Merlot! :grin: However, I can't think of any other explanation. There's also a tick box which says 'Notify me when a reply is posted', but I can't see how this could be accidentally ticked, on several instances. :?

Lona · « **Reply #11 on:** July 03, 2006, 23:24 »

I see at the bottom of this topic it say " watch this topic for replies". I have never seen this before and certainly have never clicked on it that I know of.

I'll have to watch out for the next time I get an email and will be very careful what I click on

Simon · « **Reply #12 on:** July 04, 2006, 00:01 »

It's very strange, Lona, but logically, if it was a problem with the forum software, I would have expected a) for it to affect all threads you have posted in, and b) for it to have also affected other members. However, we know that odd things can happen from time to time, so I can't guarantee there isn't a glitch in your profile, but would be surprised if there is, given that Sam did the forum upgrade at the weekend, and this was happening before and after.

Unless Sam can come up with anything concrete, I can only suggest that when you get a notification email, click the link to stop the notifications, and see if that works. Obviously, if you are getting notifications from several threads, you would need to click the 'stop' link in all of them, as they arrive. Sorry I can't come up with any other answer.

Lona · « **Reply #13 on:** July 04, 2006, 14:51 »

It would appear, Simon, that it's only the topics I reply to that is sending notification as though I had asked for topic to be watched.

I got another one today..........................

That is an old thread, but it's one you did post in, Lona.
